What happened
The incident occurred during a cruise phase flight at an altitude of 11,000 feet. The aircraft encountered poor weather conditions characterized by rainfall, which significantly reduced visibility. While navigating through this environment, the plane impacted the slope of Mt Sarwaged. This mountain is situated approximately 22 kilometers north of Boana. Search and recovery teams located the wreckage several hours after the collision. Regrettably, all five occupants aboard the aircraft perished in the event.
Findings
The primary environmental factor cited in the circumstances was the reduced visibility resulting from active rain falls at the time of the accident. The impact occurred while the aircraft was maintaining its cruising altitude in these challenging meteorological conditions.
